Apple is gearing up to release iOS 18.7 and iOS 26 in September. iOS 18.7 will be a smaller update, focusing on security fixes, and will be one of the last for iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR. iOS 26, however, is a major update compatible with iPhone 11 and later models. After extensive beta testing, iOS 26's public release is expected around mid-September.
